 [Weld County, Colo] On Apr. 27, 2022, Weld County Sheriff’s Office detectives responded to the 3300 block of First Ave in unincorporated Weld County regarding a death investigation. Prior to the discovery of the females remains this was an unimproved wooded area.

Detectives contacted the reporter, an unhoused female, who had discovered the skeletonized remains of a female. The remains were later sent to a forensic anthropologist who determined the female was 30–58-years-old, Caucasian, between 5’02 and 5’06 tall, and she had at least one child.

The clothing the deceased female was wearing at the time is described as:

• An unknown color sports bra
• A black t-shirt depicting a tattooed Marilyn Monroe with a bandanna around her head holding a gun, with the word, “Respect” written in cursive on the front of the t-shirt.
• A red hooded sweatshirt that had the word, “Lifeguard” on the front and on the sleeves and a white medical cross on the front of the sweatshirt.
• A black hooded sweatshirt with the number 17 in the background and the word, “Senior” across the number 17 in the foreground.

The sheriff’s office is seeking any information the public may have regarding the identity of this female. If you have any information on this case, please contact Det. Brandon Stupka at (970) 400-2832; or call our tip line at (970) 304-6464 or email your tip to Crimetips@weld.gov.
